The three-time Wimbledon winner deliberately transferred money to family and associates when he faced financial struggles in 2017, successfully keeping \u00a3390,000 (\u20ac426,930) and the proceeds of a bank loan worth \u00a31.1 million from his creditors. Becker also failed to declare his ownership of a \u00a31 million German property and \u00a375,000 in shares he held in a tech firm. Becker&#8217;s financial troubles came as a result of his \u00a338 million sporting fortune being depleted by an expensive divorce, child maintenance, and the cost of continuing his luxury lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you&#8217;re struggling financially and considering bankruptcy, call our office at 816-524-4949 or <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/hoorfarlaw\">click here<\/a> to schedule a consultation.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Slam champion Boris Becker has been jailed for two and a half years after hiding assets and debts worth more than \u00a32.5 million after being declared bankrupt.
